What a long way we have come in the past 20 years! This is present in the minds of clinicians on a daily basis as they see the progress that has been made in the treatment of renal anemia over the past two decades.
In the space of twenty years, erythropoietin (Epo) has been characterized, and its gene identified and cloned and then transferred into animal cells by viral transfection. It has become possible to produce human recombinant Epo for treatment purposes and this has coincided with the rise of the industrial production of gene therapies, and the birth of the biotechnology industry.
Co-ordinated by Nicole Casadevall, Christian Gisselbrecht and Jérôme Rossert, this works draws together all the knowledge acquired over the last two decades regarding Epo and the treatment of renal anemia.
It is an incredible journey which takes readers into the heart of molecular and cell biology and finally gradually leads them back into the exciting world of clinical practice.
It should be pointed out that this medical and human achievement was the result of the combined perspicacity of physicians and inventive genius of researchers, the former because they were able to formulate the right hypothesis and the latter because they were able to provide a targeted therapeutic response by developing new tools.
This work will provide healthcare givers with answers to their questions and researchers with the clinical justification for their work.
